They're like the Hell's Angels. They fight well when they have time to plan. The trick is to fuck them up out of the blue. It's a hobby. Heavy sport if you will.

It's unbecoming of them, butt what can you do. "Withdrawal in disgust is not the same as apathy". - KING RICHARD

Hey, we let them bred in New Hampshire as well. Who shut off Darwin's theory? Regression toward the mean is alive and well.
Guys (or person with multiple personalities)—it’s been real, it’s been fun, but it hasn’t been really fun. Please keep it on the topic which is Burke.

Never skied there, aware of the improvements. Sugarbush is my new home mt. Never skied there either. That's going to change fast.

Not sure where you got my quote from, but it definitely was not from this thread. IIRC I made that post in the K thread so it wasn't off topic.

Shoot. Sorry about that. I meant to quote BM and MB now. I've deleted it. I used the multiple quote feature and I think I had your quote from a past thread that I never used.

Thank you for your kind words. I'm ready to go thousands of acers of terrain I've only seen from the road and on maps. Health at 99% and I'm going to slay it all.

M. A longtime BMA benefactor and Burke benefactor is one of the families. They renamed Lower Fox’s Folly and the T-Bar for the patriarch of the family.

Option C told Stuart Winchester that he’s out.

There were rumors that BMA and Mikaela were putting the hard sell on Vail. That was a while back.

Mikaela runs ads for ikon, how would she have any influence with vail, besides the fact she trains at vail

When did the Schaefer family say they are not interested
